AARP Tax Aide Program
Volunteers, certified and trained under the AARP Tax Aide Program, will again offer free income tax preparation assistance for taxpayers, with a special emphasis on taxpayers 60 and older. To ensure the safety of our community, with the prevalence of COVID and RSV, tax assistance will be provided largely remotely.
Interested taxpayers should call the Councils on Aging to sign up for the service, and to pick up their information and questionnaire packages. Taxpayers must complete their questionnaires, bring a copy of last year’s tax return, and provide all relevant tax documents at the time of their appointment. Call your COA for further information and to schedule an appointment:
